Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan
On January 24, 2013, our Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) approved a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan Award (the “2013 LTIP”) to provide a long-term cash bonus opportunity to certain members of our management. The 2013 LTIP was approved by the Committee pursuant to the authority set forth in the Long Term Cash Incentive Plan approved by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2007. The total cumulative payment for all participants (the “Eligible Payment”) is based upon certain performance conditions being met over a three year period ending December 31, 2015.
The Committee has responsibility for administering the 2013 LTIP and may use its reasonable discretion to adjust the performance criteria or Eligible Payments to take into account the impact of any major or unforeseen transaction or event. Our executive officers are not participants in the 2013 LTIP. The Eligible Payment will be paid in cash upon completion of our annual audit for the 2015 fiscal year and upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions as outlined in the 2013 LTIP and, including employer costs, is currently estimated to be approximately $5.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had accrued compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million.
The amount accrued for the 2013 LTIP reflects our estimate of the 2013 LTIP payout based on forecasts and other available information and is subject to performance in line with forecasts and final evaluation and determination by the Committee. There can be no assurances that our estimates of the probable outcome will be representative of the actual outcome.
On May 11, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “2010 LTIP”) to provide a long-term cash bonus opportunity to certain members of our management. Such Board approval was upon recommendation of the Committee. One participant in the 2010 LTIP was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in 2012. No other executive officers were participants in the 2010 LTIP. As of December 31, 2012, we had accrued compensation expense and payroll benefits of approximately $2.6 million, for the 2010 LTIP including approximately $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. On January 24, 2013, the Committee approved payments under the 2010 LTIP of approximately $2.3 million to the participants.
